Choosing an IT Partner for Your Architecture Firm

Design firms have specific needs

Architecture firms run demanding software, collaborate constantly, and depend on intellectual property. A general IT provider may keep email running, but it may not understand why a slow central model costs you a deadline.

Questions to ask any provider

• Do you support Autodesk and other design software, including licensing?
• How do you size workstations for Revit, rendering, and visualization?
• What is your approach to large file collaboration with outside consultants?
• How do you test backups, and how often?
• Who will know our environment, and will it be the same people every time?

Look for accountability

Ask how the provider documents your environment, how it reports on security, and how it plans upgrades with your leadership. Predictable pricing, clear scope, and a technology roadmap tied to your business goals are signs of a partner rather than a vendor.
